Detailed Reviews
We've been there 2 times now. we went when we first got married and got the simple suite and loved it. we just went again for our 1 year and went all out and got the deluxe suite. Honestly it was almost the same, the hot tub was bigger and they provided a small pizza. Its a small room but comfy for a couple. Bring your own stuff though like, wine and such there expensive at the front.

We stayed at Essence Suites on a Sunday night, good discount prices. Our 1st room had a/c that wasn't working. Moved to another room & front desk was very apologetic & added 2 hours to check out time. Room was nice, maybe a bit dated. Was good for a one night get away from reality, though.

We just celebrated our 14th wedding anniversary here. We were going to go somewhere else but, decided to stay here since we had never been. We stayed 2 nights from Sunday to Tuesday. We booked our reservations in advance and received a discount for staying on off-peck days. We stayed in the Essence Suite with Loveseat.
Our room was nice for what we went for. My only problem was lighting. Most of the room has red bulbs so, you really can't see. There's regular lighting in the bathroom, in the sink area and mini kitchen area. We went to get ice out the ice machines for our drinks. During the night we noticed water on the floor and put down a towel. I thought I had dropped ice on the floor and didn't pick it up before it melted. We got in the whirlpool, which could've been a tad bit bigger. We made due. Afterwards, we went to the steam room which my husband loves. I actually enjoyed it this time myself. In the morning when we woke up the towel by the frig was soak and wet. We looked in the frig, the ice had melted and nothing in the frig was cold. We were going out. I stopped at the office to ask for our room to be cleaned even though we were staying another night and that our frig didn't work. She said they'll check the frig and if they couldn't get it working we may have to change rooms. I said okay I'll check back later. When we came back she said the frig had been unplugged for cleaning and was never plugged back in. She said everything should be fine now but, if not comeback to let me know. The frig was fine. I wanted rose petals in my room so, I went to purchase them. She gave them to me free for the frig situation. I was thankful.
Overall, we had a great time! Some of the things a tad bit outdated such as the TV, which we didn't watch the entire two nights and stereo system but we still enjoyed ourselves. DO NOT GO HERE COMPARING IT TO THE SYBARIS! It's not the Sybaris and if that's the experience that you're looking for this is not the place. The Essence Suites has it's own experiences that you will enjoy. We have stayed at both and like both for different reasons. Yes, I would stay here again. Don't be afraid! Go & enjoy yourself and your mate.

My husband and I have stayed at the Essence Suites a few times in the past, but that has been at least 10 years ago. We made the mistake of booking a whirlpool suite for our anniversary night. It was horrible! The room reeked of cigarette smoke and both my husband and I have allergies, the room was not clean, there was dust everywhere and the floor was dirty, I took a towel and checked to make sure, also the whirlpool was half clean and the faucets were jacked up. I was ready to leave instantly but my husband talked me into staying because it was too late to find another place and he didn't feel like arguing to try to a refund. I always bring my own cleaning supplies to hotels (since COVID) I cleaned up a bit and made the best of the situation since it was our anniversary. We both left with a headache and congestion from the stinky smoke. We will definitely NEVER even attempt to stay there again and would not recommend it to anyone.
We complained at check out and was given a half apology and told that he would talk to the housekeeper...yeah right, this is obviously not a new issue with this hotel. This was once a nice getaway and now it's trash!

I booked it for my first wedding anniversary and I’m so upset because the room’s so dirty and nasty and the smell is so bad, it’s the worst place I ever visited.. I stayed for one hour in the room and I went outside to get food and came back to check out. The entire room had chips and broken ceiling and the whirlpool had a crack. Very upset with my visit.

It’s me and my husbands one year wedding anniversary we booked a whirlpool suite it was nasty, the fireplace didn’t work, the smoke alarm was on the sink where you wash your hands, all the covers on the remotes was gone and batteries for the remotes was everywhere. Call front desk which wasn’t any help. Me and husband left after 39 minutes in the nasty room and I want a refund. Will never stay at this or any essence suits again.

First of all this will be my first and last time at the Essence suite they have very bad communication skills . I was also emailed false advertisement from this company something I supposed to receive complementary I had to pay for out of pocket. The toilet in my room was also leaking all night. I also had a balloon package that I pay for that should have been in my room upon arrival which was not there after all of these mistakes the only thing they could offer me was a EARLY admission or a late check out not a satisfied customer at all and for this to be a birthday experience you guys really made it sour

We got there and my husband had paid for a larger room. It smelled like week when we walked in. We tried to fight through it but could not as I am very sensitive to the smell. After a couple hours we called the front desk to see what we could do about it and the lady had an attitude with my husband and asked how long we had been in the room. We explained to her we were trying to deal with the situation but it was too strong, they agreed to have us move rooms I looked at 2 other rooms which were smaller and only one smelled clean. So we moved there.. 30 minutes later the people in the room next to us started blasting their music and you could hear it clearly through the walls, again we decided to fight it out but could only put up with it until 1:30 in the morning. I called the desk and they did send someone out but they only asked them to turn it down.- they did but only a little. We could hear music bass through our wall until
About 5:30am. They finally shut the music off when we had decided to pack and go
Home. Also by the time we left that clean room it was overpowered with the smell of weed. Every other room according to the hotel is a smoking room which I find crazy since there are laws in IL about smoking inside. This place had gone way downhill since we stayed there 15 years ago on our wedding night. I would absolutely never go back.

We loved this place on our first visit, but it seems to be under new management and moving in a different direction. It's moved from a 'romantic getaway' spot which yes, had mirrors on the ceiling, but still managed to feel a little bit classy to a place with adult toys for sale in the lobby, swings for rent, and a sign that says "$100 deposit for naps". Maintenance seems to be suffering, with poor temperature control on showers and peeling paint. However, they did take the mirrors off the ceiling. I don't think they were trying to class the place up, though. More likely, there was an accident with a swing rental.
